Alabama Women's Basketball Blows Out Auburn 88-57

Every player scored for the Crimson Tide, led by Brittany Davis' 24 points.

After suffering a heartbreaking loss against Missouri, Alabama Crimson Tide women's basketball bounced back in epic fashion, defeating in-state rival Auburn 88-57.

Every player that suited up scored for the Crimson Tide, led by 24 points on 10-for-15 shooting from Brittany Davis. She was the only scorer in double figures for Alabama, but the team had an excellent shooting day, finishing with 57 percent from the field, 50 percent from the 3-point line and 77.8 percent from the free-throw line.

"Just a tremendous effort on the road where it’s really hard to win," Alabama coach Kristy Curry said. "We did the really hard things today. I thought we had tremendous energy on every aspect, on both sides of the ball. 

"Our kids really did a good job of executing the game plan. To have 17 assists on 33 baskets, outrebound them by 12, and then to dominate the paint, 48 to 20, and then to get to the free throw line as much as we did, 18 times, just really proud of our team. I thought we had great balance. Everybody scored. That's just a tremendous team effort in a really hard place to play. So a great bounce back from a little bit of adversity this week, and proud of our team. Just really happy.”

Jada Rice and Sarah Ashlee Barker led all rebounders with 10 and eight, respectively. No one on Auburn had more than five.

For the Tigers, they came in with an uphill battle as their leading scorer, Aicha Coulibaly, was out with an injury and Honesty Scott-Grayson only played limited minutes in her return. Overall, Auburn was outmatched in all major categories, especially points in the paint (48-20) Alabama.

There are a couple of all-time marks that continue in Alabama's favor. First, the win streak against Auburn now extends to eight, and Kristy Curry has an 11-10 record in head-to-head matchups against the Tigers.

Alabama has a week off until its next game, another road matchup against Ole Miss. The week will allow the Tide to get a little healthier, as guard Megan Abrams was seen on crutches at the end of the game.
